The Devourers are a very peculiar species. Although they are humanoid, their social structure is not much different from that of ants.

All Devourers in the entire universe are, fundamentally, hatched from the same Devourer nest, which is the one they call the Mother Empress.

Therefore, all of the Devourer race are under the control of that Mother Empress. Moreover, because of the special life form of the Devourers, they have a mental link with each other – of course, the distance cannot be too great!

Before, this Devourer used the mental link to notify everyone he could connect to. The Devourers who received the message would naturally use the communication equipment of their base to contact the distant fleet! That's why he said that the two Giant Nest-class fleets would return to the Duoluo World!

This mental link is a life imprint that appears when a Devourer is born. This life imprint is naturally given to them by the Mother Nest. It is not only a symbol of the Devourers, but also a way for the Mother Nest to control them. But now, this Devourer discovered that the life imprint that had existed since his birth...disappeared!

This disappearance is different from being too far away from other Devourers and being unable to connect. That kind of inability to connect is like losing cell phone signal after entering a basement. It is only a temporary disconnection, and it will recover after coming out.

But now, this disappearance is like the cell phone number being cancelled. No matter when, it will no longer be possible to connect to the network. In other words, this Devourer has been kicked out of the Devourer race.

As a Devourer, he certainly knew this situation, so he was directly stunned.

Since he was born, he had been accustomed to his identity and had been living with this identity. Now, he suddenly lost his identity, which made him feel a moment of confusion.

But immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, because he suddenly realized that without the life imprint, the Mother Nest could not control him. But he was still a Devourer. As long as he was willing, he could also become a Mother Nest, a Mother Nest not controlled by the Mother Empress, and establish his own Devourer race.

Looking at the expression on the Devourer's face, Li Chenzhou's mouth also curved into a slight smile. He guessed correctly. The improvement in level made this Devourer get rid of the control of the Devourer Mother Nest and become a truly independent individual.

The other Devourers, although they also have their own thoughts and can act freely, because of the existence of the life imprint, they are simply unable to disobey the orders from the Mother Nest.

This is why the Devourers in his world would rather lose a large number of warriors and fighters to consume the energy of the war fortresses, than choose to let some Devourers absorb the origin of the universe, improve their levels, and then destroy the war fortresses!

Because the Devourer's Mother Nest knows that once those Devourers absorb the origin of the universe, the life imprint in their bodies will disappear, and they will no longer be able to control them. Therefore, among the Devourers, only the Mother Nest called the Mother Empress can absorb the origin of the universe. Others, even if they are also Mother Nests, they will never absorb the origin of the universe themselves.

Moreover, whether it is Li Chenzhou or those Devourers who are helping the Mother Empress collect the origin of the universe, they actually do not know that when the Mother Empress absorbs enough origin of the universe and successfully evolves her life form, all Devourers except the Mother Empress will be killed by the Mother Empress!

Because the life forms of these existing Devourers have been fixed and will not improve with the Mother Empress's improvement. Therefore, the Mother Empress will kill them all, recycle a large amount of life energy, and create new Mother Nests and Devourers. Only then will the Devourer race truly complete its evolution.

It's like in a game, when you build a level 1 barracks, you create a large number of level 1 soldiers. But when the level 2 barracks is built and can produce level 2 soldiers, you naturally have to recycle those level 1 soldiers and build more powerful level 2 soldiers!

Of course, the Devourer in front of Li Chenzhou does not know this situation either. He only knows that he has now not only gained freedom, but can even re-establish a Devourer race himself!

The life form of the Devourers is special. They do not have distinctions between male and female. There are only differences in life forms. Every high-level Devourer can transform themselves into a Mother Nest form, and then begin to produce other Devourers.

However, when transforming into the Mother Nest form, it is very fragile in the early stages. It not only has no self-protection ability, but also no hunting ability.

If it is in the Devourer group, there is naturally no such concern, because the Mother Empress will arrange everything. The Devourer who turns into a Mother Nest will have a large group of Devourers guarding it until it truly grows up.

But this Devourer...certainly will not have this kind of preferential treatment. If the Mother Empress knows of his existence, she will definitely send a large army to hunt him down at the first time, and even treat him as the most important enemy, without exception. Even the matter of collecting the origin of the universe will be put aside!

"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Seeing the Devourer's expression change from confusion to shock to surprise to ecstasy, Li Chenzhou found it amusing and asked.

"Hmm?"

The Devourer looked at Li Chenzhou and then remembered that he was still a prisoner of the humans. If he wanted to establish his own race, what he needed to worry about was not how to protect himself after transforming into a Mother Nest, but...how to leave here safely first!

"Human, you gave me the origin of the universe to let me break away from the Mother Empress's control? What do you want to do?"

The Devourer looked at Li Chenzhou, did not continue to struggle, but asked in a deep voice.

"You're right! I gave you the origin of the universe, one is to see how strong you Devourers will be after you improve your life form, and the other is what you said, I want to see if you will break away from the Mother Nest's control!"

Li Chenzhou nodded:

"Now it seems that the effect is not bad, it did not disappoint me!"

"Human, stop daydreaming. Even if I break away from the Mother Empress's control, I am still a Devourer. Do you think that after the Mother Empress can't control me, I will be controlled by you?"

A fierce light flashed in the Devourer's dark gold eyes.

"I don't intend to control you! I don't need to either!"

Looking at the Devourer, Li Chenzhou smiled:

"What I want to do is support you! I think this should be what you need most. If I guessed correctly, as long as other Devourers know of your existence, your Mother Empress will do everything possible to kill you, and even put us humans aside! Right?"
